Re: How do you make your kicks?

very true, but sometimes some componments cannot be created with a single synth instance, really depends on wanted results/music type.
there are lot's of commercial track kicks where attack is not only a sine sweep but have some extra mid/high infos hard to
recreate with a synth (i think of those hh/sd) can add noise of extra fm but not realistic .
so this mainly depends if you are after a more synthetic or live sample feeling.
ie i will use only ulta clean sine sweep for a Psy trance kick, but DnB kicks would benefit more from layering or at least starting from real samples, jazz would keep nearly unprocessed full dynamics, harcore techno will have heavy compression, satutation ect, there are no general rules fititing all kinds of music, the best is as always to experiment..
